Installing the refrigerator

6.1

Preparing the installation

When installing the refrigerator, note the following:
 To enable the refrigerant to circulate properly, the refrigerator may not
exceed an angle of 3°.
Park the vehicle on a level surface with the help of a spirit level.
 The refrigerator must be installed so that it is easily accessible for service
work, easy to de-install and install and can be easily removed from the
vehicle.
 The distance between the refrigerator and the rear wall must be at least
15 mm.
 The refrigerator must be installed in a recess so that it stands firm when
the vehicle is in motion. Note the following dimensions here (H x W x D in
mm, fig. 1, page 3):
– RM5310: 618 x 486 x 474
– RM5330: 821 x 486 x 474
– RM5380: 821 x 486 x 474
– RM5385: 821 x 486 x 474
 The outer wall must be fitted with an air inlet vent (fig. 2 2, page 4) and
an outlet vent (fig. 2 3, page 4) with ventilation grilles so that the heat
generated can be easily released to the outside:
– Air inlet vent: Fit the ventilation grille as flush as possible underneath
the burner lid (fig. 2 1, page 4) with a minimum cross-section of
250 cm².
– Outlet vent: fit above the refrigerator as far as possible. A ventilation
grille with integrated flue duct can also be used here.
